Swedish politicsVattenfall's new company for new nuclear power at Ringhals is now taking the next step. The industrial partnership Industrikraft, with companies such as ABB and SSAB, signs a partnership agreement.
BusinessVattenfall is starting a separate nuclear power company and is on its way to bringing in Volvo, ABB, SSAB and other industrial giants as co-owners. It facilitates that those who want the electricity are also owners, according to Desirée Comstedt, head of new nuclear power at Vattenfall.
